Dear All
I'm trying to layout a page in latex which is readily
translatable with latex2html but, alas, I cannot do what I
want. Here is a diagram of what I want:
-----------
| | Some more text
| Some |
| | adjacent to
| text in |
| | the frame box.
| a framed |
| |
| box. |
| |
-----------
To keep the 2 bits of text adjacent in the HTML I can
use a tabular environment within an outer tabular
environment. I can put a border around the left hand table
by specifiying a vertical bar in the column specs. However,
I also need to insert some vertical space (I used \\)
in the left hand table. When converted to HTML this "whitespace"
is inserted into separate <TR>'s and I get horizontal lines
in the left hand table. Here is the (simplified) HTML:
<TABLE>
<TR><TD><TABLE BORDER="1">
<TR><TH>Some</TH></TR>
<TR><TD> </TD></TR>
<TR><TD> </TD></TR>
<TR><TH>text in</TH></TR>
<TR><TD> </TD></TR>
<TR><TD> </TD></TR>
<TR><TH>a framed</TH></TR>
etc...
This comes out as:
-----------
| | Some more text
| Some |
|-----------|
|-----------| adjacent to
| text in |
|-----------| the frame box.
|-----------|
| a framed |
|-----------|
|-----------|
| box. |
| |
-----------
Question: How can I get the entire left hand box contents, with
some vertical spacing between the lines, into one <TR><TD> section ?
Many thanks!
Ian
